SonnetTech, a manufacturer of high-end, high-performance expansions for Mac users, wants you to meet Sonnet DuoModo – a modular, desktop or rackmount system that makes expansion of stock Apple computers dead simple. Sonnet DuoModo is a modular system built to maximize the output of Apple computers using the power of Thunderbolt 3. Any (Intel-based) Mac can benefit from the extra horsepower and expanded capabilities that expansion tools like this can offer. And if you don’t have a Mac in hand already, one of the modules allows you to slot in a Mac Mini. DuoModo is a system in two phases. First, you select the modules that fit your needs. Then, you can easily insert those modules into either a desktop or a rackmount enclosure. Plenty of other companies offer expansion boxes (most notably BlackMagic), but the flexibility of the DuoModo system sets it apart. Sonnet DuoModo eGPU Module The most urgent need for filmmakers in Mac environments is the eGPU module. NLE’s tend to rely on the GPU to handle effects rendering, color, and playback. More intensive programs, such as After Effects or Resolve, lean even harder on the GPU. Unlike Windows PCs, which often are built with internal expansion and user upgrades in mind, Mac computers tend to be closed systems. If you want to boost your editing and rendering performance, you can’t just plug in a new GPU. You need a dock to supply power to the GPU and convert the connection on a standard GPU to one...
